The Kidnapping

He was kidnapped in December 8, 1963 at Harrah's Lake Tahoe and released two days later after his father paid out the US$240,000 ransom demanded by the kidnappers, who were later captured, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to long prison terms.

Career

Frank Sinatra, Jr. has played at times in Las Vegas in the footsteps of his father, but this seemed to invite almost invariably negative comparisons. On seeing the act, Forbes Magazine editor Malcolm Forbes remarked, "Junior sure ain't Senior!," to which several readers wrote to ask if he would like his son Steve Forbes to be referred to in this manner.

The Howard Stern Show, No
